A nice example perhaps but not of a 1959 car . Almost certainly built in December 1957

This car is now for sale in Romania www.finecars.cc/en/detail/car/670204/index.html_cache=1&ret=63 . It appears to be a recent restoration; the car is now maroon with grey interior. The description refers to it as a 1959 car, but it was built in Dec 1957 as reported by Peter Ingram in 2007.
